Alvin Bragg can't say he's the best, but he can say he's first.
In early April, Bragg moved forward under a novel legal theory that supposes he can elevate a misdemeanor that has already passed the statute of limitations to a felony under the idea that Trump committed the misdemeanor in service of another crime.
Despite the weakness of the case, Bragg rushed to the podium anyway to proclaim his triumph.
Let me translate that for you: Out of all the Trump indictments, filed or soon-to-be filed, Braggs is by far the dumbest and most likely to fail.
That's why you are seeing Bragg suggest that he'll work with the judge to delay his case out of a "Broad look at what justice requires." In fact, I'd posit that he doesn't just want to postpone his prosecution of Trump, he wants to end it completely.
If the DOJ garners convictions with its charges, Bragg has his out.
If the judge in the case isn't inclined to delay the trial upon request, I'd look for Bragg to make other moves to force the issue, whether that be various motions or introducing new charges.
